A former Loveland resident and his passenger were arrested early Tuesday after deputies clocked them driving at more than 110 mph and found more than a pound and a half of marijuana and a stolen handgun in their car, the sheriff’s office says.

Arrested were Shane Wagner and Jeremy Christopherson, who deputies said they stopped while traveling at 110 mph on Interstate 25 north of Fort Collins. The two had a stolen 9 mm handgun, the sheriff’s office said.

Wagner, formerly of Loveland, was arrested on suspicion of felony possession of marijuana, theft, driving with a canceled or denied license, and speeding. He was also wanted on a Fort Collins police warrant for failing to appear for a court hearing.

Christopherson was arrested for felony possession of marijuana and theft by receiving.

Both men, who now live in South Dakota, are being held at the Larimer County Jail.
